They hunt us. We feed you. Did you eat today?

Nos cazan. Te alimentamos. ¿Comiste hoy?

@georgetakei By the end of the week, every Republican sycophant will be pretending to trip on stairs, like they wore bandages on their ears, and wore diapers.

The Republicans’ poorly named “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and the ICE raids are linked:

The megabill would give ICE the resources it needs to repeat its Los Angeles tactics in cities nationwide. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/los-angeles-unrest-relevant-fight-republicans-megabill-rcna212097

@adwright I also wrote to them as a kid, and got a nice bundle of educational pamphlets and beautiful color photos.

In #BellinghamWA , this will be in front of City Hall at 3:00pm.

(...continued)
This Saturday, June 14th, on the same day as Trump's birthday and absurd military parade, real patriots will again be in the streets protesting peacefully. This promises to be the biggest protest yet, and it needs to be -- this is how we stop Trump. We are the last line of defense. It's imperative that everyone who is able to do so, attend a local protest. Learn more at: https://nokings.org.

If you're horrified at Trump's approaching martial law, and the budget bill which would slash Medicaid, SNAP, Medicare, and more, while dramatically expanding ICE and undermining the courts, it's time to hit the streets. The Republican-controlled Congress is complicit, and while the courts are doing their best, it's not enough. Our democratic political and legal systems cannot save themselves nor us, it's up to *us* to save the systems and ourselves.

A scientist told me
the real story
is the unfolding of climate change.

And a doctor told me
the real story
is the ongoing pandemic.

And an activist told me
the real story
is the rise of fascism.

And a historian told me
the real story
is that these are all the same story.

Tech people must resolve to treat Palantir employees in their spaces - conferences, meetups, hackathons, etc - identically to how they would treat the masked gun-brandishing irregular-uniformed gestapo out there right now arresting every latina mother and child they feel like.
Palantir are the computer job counterparts of those thugs and one wouldn't exist without the other, and they should experience 100% identical social consequences.

A City of Angels we have here indeed.

If thousands of citizens protest and a few burn things down, that isn’t any more of a riot than it is to say that a few cops deliberately shooting reporters is a coordinated assault on the press.

Put thousands of people on the streets, there will be bad actors. I’ve yet to run a road race where people weren’t going off course, peeing in yards, jumping fences, or whatever. People break rules, especially when there is some anonymity in a crowd.

"Your enemy is NOT the refugee.
Your enemy is the one who made him a refuge."

How many steps is it from sending the military into an American city to cancelling elections? Asking for a democracy.

@fixatedpersonsunit I'm glad I watched that carefully a second time. There's no way anyone could mistake the reporter for a threat, and no way the fucker who shot her didn't know exactly what he was doing.

US police officer deliberately shoots Australian journalist from behind with rubber bullet as they report LA protests live.
